QV /v - variable value containing white space?

Hi

Is it possible to specify a variable containing a whitespace?

Ex:

  • qv.exe /r /vMyvar=123 abc.qvw     //OK
  • qv.exe /r /vMyvar='123' abc.qvw   //OK
  • qv.exe /r /vMyvar='1 2' abc.qvw    //FAILS
  • qv.exe /r /vMyvar="1 2" abc.qvw   //FAILS
  • qv.exe /r /vMyvar=´1 2´ abc.qvw   //FAILS

By the way, I am trying to use Myvar in the script. To reference it I use $(Myvar)?

Kind regards

OS

If it is a string, use '$(Myvar)' in script

Try

qv "/vMyvar=1 2"

as an ultimate solution!
